EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon ran a play about every 14 seconds last year. The pace became as famous as its Milan runway closet of uniforms. But quarterback Darron Thomas said it wasn’t fatigue that got to defenses.

“The secret is a lot of teams get in the newspaper before they play us saying, ‘We’ve got to be physically prepared. We’ve got to run extra,’” he told me. “It’s not about that. It’s not about the fatigue. It’s about how are you going to be when you get tired mentally.

“We’re going to line up again fast. If you don’t line up fast, you won’t get your keys. People say, ‘We’re only going to have three defenses this week so we’ll be able to move quick.’ But it’s how long you’re going to make the right keys.”
